Connections

Sunday afternoon found Y/N sitting in her living room, her phone in hand. She stared at the screen, her thoughts drifting back to her encounter with Yamamoto Kenji - rather, Toji Fushiguro in disguise. Despite the unsettling events that had transpired, she found herself intrigued by Kenji, not realizing the true identity behind the charming facade.

Her phone buzzed, jolting her from her thoughts.

Kenji :) is calling....

It was Kenji calling. She hesitated for a moment before answering.

"Hey, Y/N," Kenji's deep voice came through, smooth and confident. "I was wondering if you were free this Friday afternoon. Thought we could grab a coffee or something."

Y/N bit her lip, feeling a pang of disappointment as she remembered her prior engagement. Shit.

"Hey Kenji. I am really sorry dear, but I'm actually meeting up with some friends. We're going out together, you know."

Kenji chuckled on the other end. His voice sounded very attractive to Y/N. "That's completely fine. Another time, then. How about we catch up next week?"

Phew. He's not one of these weirdos, that hang up after being told "No".

"Sure, that sounds great," Y/N replied, feeling a smile tug at her lips. They chatted for another ten minutes, discussing mundane topics and sharing light banter before hanging up.

After ending the call, Y/N decided to pay a visit to Gojo Satoru, her close friend since eighth grade. She knew Gojo always had an interesting perspective on things and might have some insight into her strange encounter with Kenji. As she arrived at Tokyo Jujutsu High by car, she found Gojo lounging outside, his signature blindfold resting comfortably over his eyes.

"Hey, Gojo, what's up?" Y/N greeted, her tone light despite the weight of her thoughts.

"Y/N, what brings you here?" Gojo's voice was as casual and laid-back as ever, though his curiosity was evident.

"I needed to talk to you about something. And also, I wanted to spend some time with you," Y/N admitted, taking a seat beside him.

Gojo tilted his head, a playful grin spreading across his face. "Oh, that's amazing. I actually wanted to call you today, what a coincidence. I'm all ears. What's on your mind?"

Y/N took a deep breath, recounting her encounter with Toji and her subsequent meeting with Kenji. She was careful to omit the more personal and humiliating details. She had only told him that he broke into her home and had tried to kill her.

It was the truth. Well only 50% of it.

"My, my... That's quite the story," Gojo said, his tone turning more serious as he noticed Y/N acting a bit more 'off' than usual.

"Have you told Principal Yaga? He and the other sorceres should put a protective curse over your apartment. That way Toji would never be able to enter your home. Ever."

Y/N smiled as she noticed Satoru being protective over her. He was just too sweet.

"They are already working on it, Satoru. Mr. Yaga even invited Mr. Yoshinobu Gakuganji, the principal of Kyoto Jujutsu high to examine my apartment. I am in safe hands now, don't worry", Y/N said, resting her hand on her chin.

"If that is the case I feel relieved. Thanks for trusting me", Gojo winked, while also showing both his thumbs up.

When would Gojo stop acting so childishly?

...

"But there's something else you should know about Toji, Y/N. I've heard rumors that he's planning to sell his child to the Zenin clan."
